Service Overview:

Kids and pets are really hard on your lawn. Heavily used lawns often have compacted soil. This restricts the amount of air and water reaching the roots, limiting healthy grass growth. Aeration lets water, fertilizer and air move more freely in the soil. It is best to aerate your lawn once in the Spring and again in the Fall when the cool season turf is growing.

Why Regular Maintenance is Essential:

Aeration helps reduce runoff and control thatch, a layer of dead stems that can build up under some grasses. Due to the way water moves through the soil, clay and mostly-clay soils have to be aerated more frequently than loose sandy soils. It is essential that oxygen and water get down to the roots to maintain a vibrant green lawn. You can help to improve the soil structure by leaving the cores to breakdown in the lawn after aerating.

Member Responsibilities:

The soil should be moist, but not wet before aeration; the aerator won't penetrate dry ground.

Turf should be kept consistently watered and fertilized for optimum health.

Helpful Hints:

Aerating a lawn while you have a weed infestation is not advisable, as this may actually spread weeds across your lawn.

Aerating during drought conditions can actually release moisture in the soil needed to retain life in the grass.
